Homestay in China

Living with a Homestay in China is the best way to enhance your Mandarin proficiency

LTL stands for Live The Language and a big reason for this is our Homestay program which allows you to build on your Chinese outside of the classroom. This will define the success of your Chinese Language progress.

Studying Mandarin at our school for four or six hours per day is great, but to really improve you need to speak Mandarin 24/7. This is where the idea of our Homestay’s came from.

Our Homestay families in China are carefully selected to ensure your stay in China is spent in maximum comfort.

All our homestay’s in China are carefully selected so that your stay is as comfortable as possible. Apartments are modern and well kept. You will have your own private bedroom and sometimes a private bathroom (otherwise shared).

NOTE – You will have access to all facilities at the homestay such as air-conditioning, washing machine, WiFi and kitchen utensils.

Homestay Location

We try to make sure our Homestays are in the most convenient location, meaning near the school and near amenities. Generally your commute to school will never exceed 45 minutes.

FAQs

The language barrier scares me, will I be OK in a zero English environment?

Don’t be scared, embrace it!

One thing you will learn about China is that despite the daily, even hourly challenges, there is always a solution!

Download Pleco – this will solve most of these aforementioned issues in a heartbeat.

Gesture with your hands, point to things, take your time and don’t panic.

These are the situations that define your ability to learn Chinese. Going through these means you are learning. If you don’t you won’t.

Who are the host families and how do you pick them?

Homestays are the core part of what we believe in at LTL.

Because of this we take great care when selecting host families. We tend to get many applicants but only the best make the cut. This means a tidy and homely apartment, facilities for a student, great home-cooking, open families and so forth.

Now we have grown, a lot of our host families come from word of mouth from our current families, which is great because they are similarly like-minded.

Do I wash my clothes, or my family?

This depends on the family but there are facilities to wash your clothes as anywhere else. Your family will show you upon moving in.

Will I get a key for the homestay?

Yes, it will be provided by your homestay.

Can I lock my bedroom?

Of course you can.

What if I want to party late into the night? Is this allowed

Sure you can but general polite rules apply.

Don’t come back singing your heart out at 4am. Don’t come back and make a racket with kitchen utensils. Don’t come back at 3am and use the shower.

You can do what you want, but just use your common sense. Treat the homestay as you’d wish your own home to be treated.

Can I bring another friend back with me to stay over night?

No, this is forbidden.

Can I request smoking/non-smoking?

You can indeed.
